Art of Animation still have bus transportation to Epcot/DHS?

[CJK]

Hi all! Before the pandemic, Art of Animation had bus transportation to Epcot and DHS (in addition to the Skyliner). Is that still true today? TIA!!

I believe it’s only skyliner now with buses running when there’s lightning only, but others can chime in.

in the morning, its Skyliner only till past noon (the Board at the bus stop says "use Skyliner"), then there is a bus after that. The bus system from Skyliner resorts have few if any bus service to Epcot/DHS. They want you to use the Skyliner

Thank you! How regularly do the buses go to Epcot past 12pm? We want to go to Spaceship Earth and World Nature only on one particular day, (no World Showcase) so it would make more sense to enter the park at the front instead of International Gateway. I'm just wondering if we can count on the bus to take us there around 4:30pm, or if we should plan to take an Uber.

the walk from Skyliner in epcot to Spaceship Earth is a 8 to 10 min walk, if time is important then you can use Uber. Personally, unless I am going to a dinner reservation and time is important, i would use the Skyliner and save the money on the Uber.

There is no bus service unless the Skyliner and Friendship boats are down.

I have heard there is no buses as well. What of you are worried about getting on skyliner do they even have 1 bus now or still just skyliner

Do you find if the skyliner goes down does it take then awhile to get to park if you want to go for park opening ? Is the skyliner quicker than buses

The line for the skyliner is quickly because it is continuously loading, while you have to wait for a new bus to arrive every 20+ minutes or so at the resorts. Also, in the skyliner you are guaranteed a seat. Only issue is it stops running when there is lightning, and the status is not posted on DME.
